Emergency repair works will soon begin on the Leguan Stelling in Region Three (West Demerara-Essequibo Islands), the Department of Public Information  (DPI) reported yesterday.

The disclosure came following a June 26 letter in this newspaper by Hans Buer warning about the state of the stelling and several follow-up reports by Stabroek News.

When Stabroek News had last inquired about what would be done,  it was told last month by T&HD General Manager Marcelene Merchant that engineering assessments were being done of the stelling.
